Mercy Heart Center's Cardiac Rehabilitation Program
is dedicated to putting people recovering from, or at risk of, heart attacks back
in control of their own lives. Through a three-phased program, our specially trained
staff provide the knowledge, resources and encouragement to help participants strengthen
their hearts and move toward healthier lifestyles.
Phase One:
Determining where you are
The Cardiac Rehabilitation team evaluates your
physical condition and outlines a carefully paced program designed to your specifications.
Phase Two:
Putting you on the road to recovery
You will be given a prescription for better health
that covers diet, medications and exercise. We help you regain strength and self
confidence through a progressive regimen of activity and therapy, at home and in
"Club Med," Mercy's own exercise facility geared specificially toward heart
patients. In addition to helping you rebuild your body, we provide emotional support
and education for you and your family through one-on-one counseling and group sessions
with fellow cardiac patients.
Phase Three:
Keeping you in better health
Regular activity sessions help you maintain the
progress you've made so that newly learned diet and exercise habits become permanent.
The encouragement you've received from rehab staff, other patients and family members
continues. You are welcome to remain in the Phase Three component of our Cardiac
Rehab program for as long as you feel you need this support.
